I know turpentine is probably the most common mango rootstock in Florida, but are there others that are as good or better like Sabre? My neighbor has a Sabre mango tree that produces hundreds of mangos that just rot on the ground. Is Sabre as good as turpentine for rootstock?
Yes before you ask they taste bad.

It depends on your definition of “Best”. For some, best may mean large, vigorous, disease resistant. For others, best may be small yet productive. Here’s a link with a brief discussion on Mango rootstocks.

Within the thread above, you will find links that discuss rootstocks with different attributes. Squam256, Dr Noris Ledesma or Dr Richard Campbell will probably have a lot more information if you contact them.
I hear that there are relatively new hybrid rootstocks that may be available soon that may be more disease resistant.

I've always just used whatever is available. Never had an issue.

By the way, the Carrie mango I got from you is doing well. :-) I think you grafted that one onto a glenn seedling.

:D glad to hear that! I don't remember what that was grafted to at this point.
